Description
Anaphalis yedoensis, also known as Yedoan pearly everlasting, is a plant that proves beauty doesn’t always have to shout. Its upright white stems carry slender, grey-green leaves edged and lined with a pale silvery-white, giving the foliage a frosted look that seems to catch and hold the light. In summer, the tips of each stem produce loose sprays of neat, white, papery blooms that stand proud long after many other flowers have waned. The effect is one of quiet luminosity, the blooms of Anaphalis margaritacea var. yedoensis resemble little pearls strung together, lending a subtle glow to borders, gravel gardens, or naturalistic plantings.
The appeal of Anaphalis yedoensis lies not only in its delicacy but also in its durability. The small, everlasting flowers retain their pearly brilliance even as they dry on the plant, ensuring a season of interest well into autumn. For those who enjoy cutting flowers, they are ideal for drying and arranging indoors, adding texture and longevity to bouquets. Planted in groups, Anaphalis yedoensis softens the look of taller companions, weaving gracefully among grasses or upright perennials without ever dominating the show. With its understated yet enduring beauty, Anaphalis yedoensis brings a touch of refinement and resilience, ensuring the garden has a luminous thread running through it long after bolder flowers have taken their bow.

Useful information
-
Soak the Anaphalis yedoensis roots in water for 3-6 hours prior to planting
Plant your "Yedoan pearly everlasting" bare roots into temporary pots with a multipurpose compost within a week of delivery and grow-on in a sheltered spot outdoors
Choose a pot which comfortably fits the bare roots. Some have a noticeable crown which should be just below the soil surface with any top growth exposed. Some varieties are a length of root which should be planted lengthways and shallowly (1-2cm deep).
Plant out into borders or permanent containers in late spring or early summer once in full growth. Choose a position in sun or shade depending on the variety.
